Re: And the award for the best shade throwing goes to...

It's definitely the height of something ( hubris?  parochialism?  whatever... ) when an American sports league plays for what they proudly declare to be a 'World Championship' — but with one exception, no team from anywhere in the world outside of the USA is permitted to participate.hays1 Go, Blue J...

Re: DJT's philosophy of the presidency: one giant opportunity for grift

That's one of the first correct statements I think he has ever made.  No, not the one about how 'They owe him', but the following line about how 'They owe US ' . But instead of extorting a payout, I personally would settle for a Congress and a government that starts doing what they were founded or e...

Which of course casts the military (or the DEA, or ICE, or whoever is carrying out these strikes against the boats) in the role(s) of apprehending officer, judge, jury, and executioner all in one.

Re: Home for Random Thoughts

I think the Blue Jays just proved that every time Trump has a baby tantrum and spanks Canada, Canada punishes US on the sports ball (or puck) playing field (or ice). Go Canada! Well, the winner is crowned World Champion, so shouldn't the only team that is based in a part of the world outside the US...

Re: Were they following Robert's Rules of Order?

"Parliamentary operations"? Were they introducing bills? Engaging in debate? Approving a budget? If they are, they're several orders of magnitude ahead of the Trump administration and the rest of his MAGA Mafia. https://www.picgifs.com/emoticons/smileys-and-emoticons/cycling/smileys-cycling-022395....

In an issue of The Christian Century magazine, dated Feb 5, 1936, James Waterman Wise, Jr. wrote, If fascism comes, it will not be identified with any “shirt” movement, nor with an “insignia,” but it will probably be “wrapped up in the American flag and heralded as a plea for liberty and preservatio...

Re: Trump's Greatest Hits...

When I was a little kid in school, I was constantly being told that "in America, anyone can grow up to become President." Now, after being 'blessed' (?) with two terms of Donald Trump. I think that statement has been proven beyond the shadow of a doubt. https://www.picgifs.com/emoticons/smileys-and-...

Re: There's Always a Tweet

Obama? Even W and Nixon will be more beloved than Trump. And I would bet historians will have more respect for Buchnan and Andrew Johnson. Trump is an even bigger political joke than Dan Quayle was during his time as Veep — and believe you me, that's saying something. https://www.picgifs.com/emotic...

Re: Do You Get Tired of Being a Hypocrite? Bill Clinton Did This.

Yes, he was found guilty by a jury, but it looks like they wanted to convict Trump of something, so they found something and turned it into a felony. You could do that to anybody. Look hard enough, and you’ll find that almost everyone has committed a misdemeanor at some point, especially businessme...

I think we can blame Ugandan dictator/megalomanic Idi (short for 'Idiot'?) Amin — who declared himself the King of Scotland in the 1970s — for that ersatz theory of black Scotsmen.

I'm with BSG on this one. I'm not sure it much matters whether Trump's ear scratch was caused by a passing bullet, a bit of shrapnel or a collision with his SS detail. I assume everything he says is a lie anyway unless there is objective proof otherwise. I'm just surprised he's not demanding a Meda...

Re: Maybe this guy can get Kimmel’s spot?

The George Bush precedent is quite simple. It works like this: if you say something and it later turns out you were wrong, then you are a liar. No exceptions. So no one — including, or maybe ESPECIALLY yourself — is allowed to make an honest mistake or a differing opinion based on the available (an...
